ELLIOTTCABLE_ wow formlabs is real

audy: what do you mean?
00:14

ELLIOTTCABLE_ wasn't it a kickstarter?
00:14

What even, joelteon

i'm a write-only stream

audy: yep, originally. Way back when. But it's a real device, very impressive. Much better resolution than any of the desktop ABS printers.
00:15
<
audy >
ELLIOTTCABLE_ because lasers

ELLIOTTCABLE_ >
On the order of professional / industrial SLS machines, but in a desktop form-factor, and (arguably) consumer pricing
00:16
<
audy >
ELLIOTTCABLE_ can you only print using their cloud thingy or was that a different printer?
00:16
<
ELLIOTTCABLE_ >
wat.
00:16
<
ELLIOTTCABLE_ >
Lol no it's standard shit

whitequark is it a web thing? am I going to get A/B tested?

joelteon do the COOL course?
02:41
<
joelteon >
goodness me
02:41
<
joelteon >
nice code
02:42
<
audy >
haskell is pretty
02:42
<
devyn >
I'm not really proud of that code honestly
02:44
<
audy >
devyn I hope you had a $texteditor plugin that did that
02:44
<
audy >
and not just a bunch of meth
02:44
<
devyn >
I can't remember; probably not
02:45
<
joelteon >
i do meth for that
02:45
<
joelteon >
it's not that hard
02:45
<
audy >
easier than installing a vim plugin
02:46
<
audy >
actually that's not difficult either
02:46
<
devyn >
I use vundle
02:46
<
audy >
Does tim pope have a vim plugin called meth yet?
02:47
<
joelteon >
vundle is easy
02:47
<
joelteon >
devyn, do you know of any plugins that'll let you line stuff up like that as you type
02:47
<
audy >
joelteon tabular
02:47
<
joelteon >
rather than after you're done
02:48
<
audy >
that's probably hard as in not trivial
02:48
<
devyn >
joelteon: that would be neat, but honestly, I'm not much of a plugin person
02:48
<
joelteon >
as you type
02:59
<
joelteon >
maybe it could be haskell only
02:59
<
joelteon >
I can't see it serving me in other languages
03:23
<
whitequark >
audy: lol I commonly do that by hand
03:24
<
whitequark >
3rd-party code which doesn't have everything perfectly lined up drives me mad
04:44
<
devyn >
whitequark: wat
04:44
<
whitequark >
motherfucking pterodactyls
05:21
<
whitequark >
ah, old good exokernel operating systems
05:21
<
whitequark >
the idea's been around for at least thirty years. in fact, DOS is pretty much one.
05:21
<
devyn >
this one is designed to support OCaml applications
05:22
<
whitequark >
I know, Anil did a great job on Mirage
05:23

seems pretty neat

I've cleaned the drum of my laser printer, sent a test page and looked on how clean it was
10:10
<
whitequark >
not only in that moment I was thinking "this is really amazing", that is, in english
10:11
<
whitequark >
I also had a voiceover in my head, saying すごいです
10:15
<
whitequark >
kinda like watching your own life with subtitles
10:21
<
yorickpeterse >
wat
10:21
<
whitequark >
wat what?
10:22
<
yorickpeterse >
the printer stuff
10:22
<
whitequark >
you mean you don't have voices in your head which provide a sarcastic commentary on your life, sometimes in a foreign language?
10:22
<
whitequark >
or you mean you don't know what did I do with the printer?
10:24
<
yorickpeterse >
No, the combination of cleaning a printer and some Japanese voice yelling that it's amazing
10:24
<
yorickpeterse >
FYI I usually think in English
10:24
<
yorickpeterse >
more so than in Dutch actually
10:24
<
whitequark >
well, I bought this printer off the local craigslist equivalent
10:24
<
whitequark >
and the drum had like whole 0.2mm of toner in some places, and it's been shitting all over the pages
10:25
<
whitequark >
so I cleaned it and the prints became clear as fuck
10:25
<
yorickpeterse >
I hate printers
10:25
<
whitequark >
it was
*really* amazing
10:25
<
whitequark >
you just don't know how to have se^W^Wproperly use them
10:25
<
yorickpeterse >
of course that one time a year I need mine it shits up
10:25
<
yorickpeterse >
I actually gave up and would just connect it to my Windoze computah
10:25
<
yorickpeterse >
because Linux is like "lol what the fuck is this driver crap"
10:25
<
whitequark >
I never really had much problems with CUPS
10:26
<
yorickpeterse >
This is some shady Canon thing from years back
10:26
<
yorickpeterse >
driver support is crap
10:26
<
whitequark >
plus Brother has rather nice printer drivers for Linux (and you could just use the ppd file if you felt like it)
10:26
<
yorickpeterse >
requires 2 hours of compiling and then it still doesn't work
10:26
<
whitequark >
their scanner drivers however don't work and I almost went to reverse-engineer their USB protocol
10:26
<
whitequark >
but decided that running winxp in virtualbox is a better use of my time
10:27
<
whitequark >
actually I figured the bug out. apparently linux xhci_hcd driver rounds some timings on endpoints down where it needs to round them up
10:27
<
whitequark >
and it exceeds the acceptable timings for the printer, and it craps out when on USB3
10:27
<
whitequark >
er, scanner
10:28
<
whitequark >
could probably fix that now
10:31
<
yorickpeterse >
you crazy
10:43
<
yorickpeterse >
._.
10:43
<
yorickpeterse >
I suppose it's at least easier to parse than Postscript
10:44
<
whitequark >
you don't parse postscript, you just execute it
10:49
<
yorickpeterse >
whitequark: re that fire link, you're terrible
10:49
<
yorickpeterse >
not I'm tempted to link that "it's getting hot in here" thing
10:50
<
whitequark >
also, take a look at that openxml paper spec
10:50
<
whitequark >
it's truly horrible. first, it's done in fucking Word, and the fonts are truly disgusting
10:50
<
yorickpeterse >
are you telling me to go fuck myself?
10:50
<
whitequark >
second, it has 496 pages and PDF table of contents with one entry: "Unknown"
10:51
<
yorickpeterse >
FYI I can't even open Word documents reliably on this laptop unless I use NSA Drive
10:51
<
whitequark >
it's a PDF
10:51
<
yorickpeterse >
fiiineee
10:51
<
whitequark >
oh and the textual table of contents doesn't have its fucking entries linked to the pages
10:51
<
yorickpeterse >
eh, which link is it?
10:52
<
whitequark >
and the pages in TOC don't match page numbering in PDF
10:52
<
yorickpeterse >
works for me
10:53
<
yorickpeterse >
except for the page numbers
10:54
<
yorickpeterse >
hm, I should add a test to make sure that nobody adds factory_girl to this project
10:56
<
whitequark >
hahaha
10:57
<
yorickpeterse >
well, might as well add one for Hashie
10:57
<
yorickpeterse >
which is a crime against OO
10:59
<
yorickpeterse >
Hm, might be a bit better to check the Gemfile for that since other Gems might sneak stuff in
11:02
<
whitequark >
you do realize it'll still be visible in Object?
11:04
<
yorickpeterse >
I can't type apparently either

then read "customer q&a", the vendor apparently knows what happens very very well
12:10
<
whitequark >
Q: Can I get 535 orders for our Congress?
12:10
<
whitequark >
Sure. We would be happy to assist you with this. Let us know if you need help ordering.
12:11
<
whitequark >
ah, no, that's not the vendor answering. pity
12:17
<
yorickpeterse >
haha
12:18
<
yorickpeterse >
"I bought one order for the Westboro Baptist Church as a donation because we all know how much God hates irregularity."
12:18
<
yorickpeterse >
hahaha
12:24
<
yorickpeterse >
So apparently our national news agency reported on stats about last year's most popular boy names
12:25
<
yorickpeterse >
apparently the name "Adolf" is quite popular
13:05
<
yorickpeterse >
whitequark: re: Nest, makes perfect sense
13:06
<
whitequark >
does it?
13:07
Sgeo_ has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer]
13:07

it allows them to introduce cool new G+ features without even having to ask users
13:11

Can't wait for them to introduce G+Nest
